Résumé
We present an exploratory study that aims to categorize the didactic intention of prospective primary teachers (PPT) when they transform multiplicative problems under the prompt ‘to promote the understanding of mathematical contents’. Constant comparation and inductive methods were applied to examine the justifications of the transformations performed by PPT, in order to identify the didactic intention, meaning their interpretations of the given prompt. Four main categories emerge from the data: focusing on content, varying complexity of the problem, facilitating understanding of the word problem, and evaluating understanding. We illustrate and describe in detail the nature of each category and conclude reflecting on the PPT’s interpretations of the prompts as a variable to take into account in the analysis and data collection.
